Residence Grant Application 2015

The Center for Urban History of East
Central Europe invites applications for the annual Residence Grant Program.

The Center welcomes applications
which reflect a broad interpretation of urban history as a discipline where
diverse humanities and social science approaches meet. Projects can be based,
for instance, on one or several of the following approaches:
"traditional" archival research, oral history, ethnographic, or
sociological methodologies.

Residence Grants will be available
for postgraduate students and scholars (independently of citizenship or place of
work or residence) interested in working in Lviv.

The grants consist of up to one
month of free accommodation at the Center and access to the Center's resources.
Recipients will be given a room in the Center’s modern shared guest appartment.
All rooms face the Center's green courtyard and have wireless internet
connection. The grants do not include travel costs, board and other living expenses.

We ask Residence Grant recipients to present their research at the Center's Urban Seminar.
